Searchlight Pictures is previewing The Roses, a new film starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, with a new trailer for the upcoming movie — described as a “reimagining” of the 1989 film ‘The War of the Roses’ starring Kathleen Turner, Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito.

The film sees Cumberbatch, 48, and Colman, 51, portray married couple Theo and Ivy, whose picture-perfect life together goes awry when Ivy’s career takes off while Theo is fired from his job as an architect. Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Belinda Bromilow, Sunita Mani, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoe Chao and Kate McKinnon also star.

A film synopsis reads: “Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Colman) and Theo (Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites.”

The Roses opens Aug. 29; see the trailer – HERE.
